Gaming tournaments often yield some memorable moments, such as amazing feats of skill and underdogs defeating their Goliath counterparts. However, in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament, Tantalus alleviated the competitive atmosphere by proposing to his girlfriend - an occurrence that also took place at the AGDQ Mischief Makers Speedrun Livestream.
He first got everyone in the room to sing Happy Birthday to her, and then gave her the ultimate present by getting onto one knee and popping the almighty question. The Twitch chat exploded, and a slew of hilarious comments and songs erupted from the tournament announcers.
Check out the video below and let us know if you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Okay
"Go home and be a family man"
-Guile-
Look at how happy they are. Absolutely good for them.
A picture of Mario and Peach are the worst to choose for this kind of topic
@OmegaStar
Mario Chases after peach so much for Peach just to friend zone him until she needs to use him again.
Saw it coming. By now, every special event gets abused for a quick proposal, so it's hardly surprising anymore.
@OmegaStar They're not a romantic couple. Mario is the Lord of the Friendzone, seeing how his relationship to Peach never actually graduates in any way.
That doesn't look romantic at all.
Okay..................................
You guys have had some great sub-headers recently.
Yeaaaaah, I would have said, "NO! Ask me again at another time and place!"
However, she seems happy, so congrats to them both.
And they Smashed happily ever after.
It looks like he is going to get Smash"d tonight
@TiredHuman Not likely. He's a pro player. Doesn't even matter what character she picks. She doesn't stand a chance against him.
Blegh...
What's with all the harsh comments? This is a marriage proposal - an incredibly important and uplifting moment in anyone's life! Sure, it not be "news", per se, but it's still nice and heartwarming to see. Congratulations to the both of them!
Pretty appropriate tagline of "Marry-o" because even though I live in the UK, I simply can't stand the way that UK promotional adverts pronounce Mario's name as Marry-o/Mare-eo instead of Ma-rio. All jokes aside, congratulations to the two.
lol at the people criticizing everything from the couple to the picture of Mario and peach. What sexually explicit Nintendo couple should they have chosen? Kirby and Meta Knight?
This is slightly old news (if news at all idk).
Mawage, is what bwings us togevva, today.
@Chubblings I know people who say it like that. And I live In The US! It drives me insane!
You gotta be kidding me... it,s the new rage or something?
Peach is crossed eyed.
LOL at that Twitch activity...
Yay for them!
We have a customer at work called Mario and his name is pronounced Marry-o. That's how it has alway been for me, I've never liked the way most Americans pronounce it.
That chat tho!
Whoah! Marry me!
I wonder if he had it planned for a while or if that proposal at the tourney last week inspired him? Either way,good luck to them both.
As for some of the commenters above,lighten up ye miserable bunch!
@Zach Link & Saria
@JellySplat When I say it like that, I'm taking about a different character; Maryo
Came here just to say that the stupid pun in the subtitle had me laughing outloud at home.
@tux_peng lol! Mary O. Short for Maribelle O'donnel.
Congratulations!! That was really cute Too funny though when he said "everyone stop what you're doing" & no one stopped what they were doing
I don't know why the first few comments are being harsh on this.
Good for them. I guess he got to the final castle.
@GloverMist - IKR?
Gawd...now I can understand all the pissing and moaning a little better, it's not simply that we get a bunch of Nintendoomers...but some deeply cynical people who can't seem to muster up anything positive to say even about something sweet and lighthearted like this.
Well I say: Congrats to the newly engaged couple, I hope they have a great life together!
@Zach Kirby and Meta Knight pbbtf!
Wario and Captain Syrup would have been slightly more interesting.
A long term relationship between Mario and Peach would never work out. Peach run poor Mario into the ground trying to rescue her from "planned" kidnappings by King Koopa.
Rosalina the cosmic sorceress should be the real woman in Mario's life. Mysterious but charming backstory unlike bimbo Peach and a genuine willingness to aid his quest. Mario is too blinded by his unhealthy obsession for Peach to realise that.
@nintendomasterr
You are hilarious... I remember that...
@StarDust4Ever Exactly this. Rosalina is a much better choice and she is superior to Peach in every way possible. Rosalina ftw.
@Superstick says my avatar!
@thehoppypoppy
It's a good thing he wasn't asking you to marry him then.
If she's happy with it then I don't think you could ask for much else.
@ikki5 hahaha that's true, freaking friend zone.
Is there any brazilian girl here that wants to marry me too? XD
I'll beat the guy who gave her a massive hug in the middle of the song is pooping himself now!
@DiscoGentleman - Yeah, seeing as both Kirby and MetaK are boys...
C'mon guys. Link and Zelda? At least Bowser instead of Mario since Bowser actually got into a wedding with Peach.
Yeah... no.
@Dizzard
I assure you that my congrats was heartfelt and genuine. I can see how my post could be perceived as catty, but it wasn't meant to be. He wouldn't have asked if he thought she would say no. I'm glad they are both happy. To find love is a gift, and I wish them a lifetime of wedded bliss!
It's not a crime to have my own notion of romance though (I'd say that it has served me well). I personally wouldn't find it romantic, but she did, so he did good!
New header confirmed: Gaming Marriages.
Gawd that was awful.
Okaaay...that was so awkward... and why is this considered "news"?
Is Peach cross eyed in that pic? Still cute.
I just love the commentator's reactions, "OH MY GOD! HE'S GETTING MARRIED! THIS MAN HAS A FAMILY!"
@RaphaBoss what...
@DiscoGentleman - Sick. You pervert.
@TheGreatBrawler Are you one?
@RaphaBoss Dude looking at my profile basically dis-confirm your question
